Hi all,  I could use a prayer if anyone cares to, since I fell and broke my hip last year, I'm having some trouble lately with pain especially when I'm in the kitchen doing things,  sometimes I think it's alright, then it comes back and I have to stop everything and sit.  Well, at 83, I shouldn't expect too much, right?

@gloriajean : Hello, I totally understand. I will be praying for you. I am 69 and use a stand up walker but constantly dealing with joint pain.

I just purchased, kitchen comfort mat. I was afraid of tripping or stumbling over it, but my joint pain was so bad , finally decided to try something. One in front of the kitchen sink and one in front of the dishwasher where , I do alot of food prep on the countertop . I just make sure to watch when I move around.🤔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤❤

I usually never ever have bacon in the house

i dont fry - gets messy and i skeered of hot oil

anyway.... this summer bought some bacon for BLT

then it was eggs bacon for breakfast... i finished the 2 packs

i went and bought another pack from TJ last week

i'm in the mood for 2 scrambled - maybe 3 strips of bacon 

going for a long walk afterwards listening to an audio book

i love being bundled and just strolling bc it is slow walking

i no longer walk as fast as i used to - but hey - 5 miles is 5 miles - right?

that will have to justify my multiple strips of bacon and of course cawfee and a snack in the afternoon - and it aint kale

i think i will attempt the fruitcake cookies

will go to TJ and see what dried fruits i can pu

lubs ya ❤️ and for your sharing your love with us always

@Yahooey : Thanks. I agree with everything you stated. But sometimes just need to have something special.

I cook my bacon in the oven , on a rack in a cookie sheet. I was surprised that it really doesn't mess the oven up. I line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. 

I put the cookie sheet and rack in the sink and spray really good with the dawn power wash and soak.

If you make the cookies, hope you like them.

I double checked my recipe and my typing while writing and posting the recipe because didn't want to leave anything out.

I told DH about you wanting to try cranberries and candied ginger. His reply: Please ask her to make enough for me. 😊😊

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well.  Aches and pains do tend to start piling up as we get older.

My mother used to make fruit cake-like bars, kind of like brownies made in a 9x13 dish.  She used the fruits we liked and didn't put any type of liquor in them.  I never did like fruit cake with booze in it.

Your cookies should be delicious!
